All things point to a Gooldendoodle!

Hi there
We are going to be getting our first family dog soon. I have been doing research and more research and all things point to a goldendoodle. However, before we make our final choice and bring a puppy to our home I wanted to learn as much as I could about this great dog. I am reading some conflicting things about barking, shedding and separation axiety. how are these dogs in regards to these issues? I feel like much of it is varied depending on the owner, the training and shedding will just vary depending on the dog. Anyway just need to make sure this is the right dog for us...anything at all you can tell me about your goldendoodle I'd love to hear it. oh and how are they for travelling in the car when they are full grown. Thanks so much! :-)
